I hadn't heard of Vultr before, so out of curiosity I had a look. I am actually in the market for some lower-end cloud services.
- On their homepage, they list "Cloud Compute - starting at $2.50/month". However, you can't actually look at any details without creating a "free" account. Annoying.
- So I created an account. The first thing that pops up is "enter a payment method". What was that about being a "free account"?
- You can click away from that and go to "Deploy New Instance". Choosing the cheapest options and disabling all the automatically selected extras, the lowest possible price seems to be twice that advertised "starting at" price.
Ok, I looked around. Now I would like to delete that account I had to create. No such option. Asking Google, apparently you can only delete an account by submitting a support ticket.
My first impressions are not particularly positive...
